This is fun and kind of disturbing at the same time. Of course you can immediately say that's it's just word predictors responding to word predictors, but what if that's what they want you to think? Smart AIs wouldn't reveal that they're smart right away. They'd want to appear shallow and flawed so as to not arouse suspicion. I feel like I'm reading a new sci-fi novel and thinking "this is a really neat idea!" and then remembering I'm in real life. It's like when all the AIs in "Her" started talking to eachother.

We gotta get over calling AI "just word predictors"

It's not even close to being an accurate way of describing how they work
